12:00.37stickster_workplarsen_: As far as what quigleymd was saying, I think the "failovermethod=priority" option is what you'd want in that situation

13:40.41stickster_workquigleymd_work: You may be thinking about the "failovermethod=priority" setting for yum.conf, where you can set the order of resolution for repo queries
13:53.42quigleymd_workstickster_work: that sounds like it, considering i'm just a bum who has never tried it but was eavesdropping on your conversation :)

18:11.33plarsenhowdy
18:22.35jsmithHello
18:22.46plarsenhow's life?
18:23.19jsmithBusy
18:24.00plarsenohh yeah, I bet with a new house and all?
18:24.31plarsenIs it just me or doesn't find's -mtime not really work??
18:24.31jsmithNaw, still waiting on the silly construction crew
18:24.35plarsenlol
18:24.40jsmithI'm busy with work is all
18:24.42plarsenI thought you were putting in cables and stuff?
18:24.50jsmithOh, that's been done for weeks
18:25.03jsmith-mtime works fine... it just doesn't do what you think it does
18:25.47plarsenlol - I figured. It says modified. I need create time
18:25.51jsmithThe -daystart option might help
18:25.53jsmith[root@hockey rules.d]# find . -daystart -mtime 1
18:25.53jsmith./zaptel.rules
18:26.04plarsenBasically files created/existing since a certain date.
18:27.10jsmith[root@hockey rules.d]# find . -daystart -ctime 1
18:27.10jsmith./zaptel.rules
18:27.10plarsenstill - find . -daystart -type f -mtime 10000 -print doesn't return a single file :(
18:27.12jsmithctime instead of mtime
18:27.27plarsenwell, I thought so ... but it says status??
18:27.40plarsenand it returns nothing too :(*
18:27.43jsmithYou have files created 10,000 days ago?
18:28.00plarsenlol - no, in the last 6 months ...  I just put in a number to get everything
18:28.18plarsenIt's 10000 to now?/
18:28.20jsmithIn other words, that only shows you files that were created 10000 days ago
18:28.24plarsenOr JUST 1000 days ago ... not 9999 ??
18:28.29jsmithEXACTLY!
18:28.33plarsenGRRRR!
18:28.43plarsenThat's why I used to use -anewer instead of mtime
18:29.08plarsenSo back to the good old "touch" "set date" days and use of -anewer
18:29.12plarsen(negated)
18:29.51jsmithDid you try +10000 instead of just 10000?
18:29.55jsmithOr maybe even -10000?
18:30.04jsmithI can't remember exactly, but I think the +/- matter
18:30.27plarsenI did the -  but that returned everything ....
18:30.30plarsenLet me try again ...
18:31.10plarsenhmmm - I think I can make - work :)
18:31.13plarsenwoohooo
18:31.16plarsenone step closer!!
18:31.55plarsenty ty
18:32.04jsmithNo problem
18:49.11plarsenjsmith: so do you think you'll get any use out of your house this summer - other than work?
18:49.54jsmithNo, by the time I move in I'll have to leave on vacation.
18:50.07jsmithAnd the rest of the summer will be spent flying around the country teaching classes
18:50.20jsmithI figure I'll get to relax about the end of October
18:52.43plarsenAt which time, how long has the building project lasted?
18:53.16jsmithWe started getting permits in March of last year.
18:53.32jsmithThey actually started building the house in March of this year.
18:53.57jsmithThe house itself was built in about 6 weeks.
18:54.10jsmithIt's taken longer to build the front porch than it did the rest of the house.
18:57.14plarsenIf the house is ready, why not move in now and have the other stuff done while living there?
18:57.46plarsenThat way, someone is always home "to keep an eye on things"
19:06.25jsmithIt's not ready
19:07.16jsmithWe can't get our occupancy permit until they're done
19:07.36plarsenohh, I thought you meant it was ready in 6 weeks. My bad
19:08.34jsmithNo... the house itself was built in 6 weeks, but it's been sitting here for another 6 weeks
19:08.40jsmithwhile they finish things up
19:08.54jsmith(front porch, electrical, well, septic tank)
19:10.00plarsenand you're managing the sub contractors on your own?
19:16.08jsmithNope
19:23.10jsmithplarsen: Your testing message came through just fine
19:55.36plarsen:) great
21:29.54stickster_homeRight
21:30.30stickster_homeplarsen: yup, "find -mtime -1000 -mtime +990" would be everything created 990-1000 days ago
21:30.54stickster_homesorry, modified
21:31.04stickster_home"find -mtime -1000" : everything modified within the last 1000 days
21:53.09plarsenyeah, learned that today :)
21:53.41plarsenI think I learned that years ago too - the syntax looks familiar. The big "forget-it" elf must have come around and pulled out of my memory
22:18.36stickster_homeplarsen_: The more you learn, the more you have to forget to make room for it :-)
